Mansfield retro: Lost Mansfield schools of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s, including Cumberlands School

School life has changed considerably over the years, from the abolition of corporal punishment in the 1980s to the introduction of computers to the classroom.

These photos show some of the area’s schools of the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s which have closed or changed their name over the years and, in many cases, been demolished.

Some of the images show pupils in the playground or in the lab for a science lesson.

We’d love to hear your memories of the schools pictured or other schools which have closed over the years.
